BERLIN. Oct. 1.-The coming conference between
Prince Bismarck and sgnor Crispi the Italian Prime
Minister. completely overshadows the interest in the
recent shooting affair the frontier. Count Herbert
Bismarck left the Foreign Office this afternoon for
BnecheD junction. in order to receive Sgnor Crspi and
accompany him to Friedrchsruhe. The interview Is
regarded as OF supreme Importance II has especial
reference to renewal OF the military convention be-
tween Italy. Austria and Germany The alliance Of tho
central Powers with Italy on general policy was re-
newed for five years. but the military convention. for
offensive and defensive purposes. covered only six
months from March last to September.
While Count Kanoky, Austrian Prime Minister, Mt
Friedrichsruhc dispatch sgnor Crisp ask
ing whether he was ready to renew the convention.
Prince Bismarck also proposed an extension of the
period covered by the convention. Before Count
Kalnoky left Frfedrchsruhe SignOr Crsp promised his
support to the movement for extension Of the
venton, and made arrangements to visit Prince Bis
marck in order to personally discuss the matter. This is
the first object Of the interview and must be hailed as an
effective of peace for many months to come.
VATICAN AND QUIRINaL-
Another question Of special interest to the italian Gov
eminent will be the negotiations with the Vatican on the
terms of q reconciliation. Within the present week
diplomatic action has become intensified these
negotiations and tho knowledge that Sgncr Crispi is
coming to Friedrichsruhe. note was sent yesterday
by Cardinal Rampolla Papal Secretary OF State, to all
the Papa Nuncos instrctng them to keep the question
alive by every in their power Tho Nuncios werc

A CENTRAL EUROPEAN ZoLLvEREIS.
Another project that Prince Bismarck Is credited with
being DESTROYS of discussing with sgnor Crispi is the
creation Of central European Zolvercn, including
Germany, Austria, Italy. Servia and Rumana. The
project appears mpracticabe in view OF the existing
international tariff dssensiOns between Germany and
Austria. and between Austria and Rumania- Yet the
subject is treated gravely by the omcal press
both desirable and possible. They hold 1t to be espc
cially desirable as tremendous facer 10 Russia.
The Cologne Ga,ette says that a central European
Zoverein would render Germany entirely Independent
of Russian timber and cattle and would realize the
object which has long been the ideal OF many eminent
political economists and many practical statesmen.
In OFFICIAL circles it is believed that Prince Bismarck
already made Signor CrispI for Italy 10
join the proposed Zovcren but nothing has ranspred
to show how the Italian Government appreciates the
gigantic customs union scheme.
Regarding the Zollvercin project a significant semi
official note sent from Pesth 10 the German and
Austrian press tonight This that the action OF
Russia in continually raising her customs tariff and
thereby causing realiatory German is tending
toward entente between Austria and Germany for the
conclusion of comprehensive commercial and customs
treaty furhering the interests of both countries This
tariff, the note says. may become the basis of customs
union Of the central European Powers. This comnun
cation, directly inspired by the Austro Hungarian
Foreign Office gives consistency TO the reports that
Bismarck is trying to induce Italy to enter the Zo
